Folly Island Sunrise

South Carolina, USA

Lighthouse Inlet Heritage Preserve is located at the northeastern terminus of Folly Island and adjacent to Cummings Point. This area played a significant role in the Civil War and was also used throughout the twentieth century by the US Coast Guard. It is a perfect spot for viewing the sun rise above the Atlantic Ocean.

In addition to oceanfront land, Lighthouse Inlet Heritage Preserve contains marshland and maritime forest habitats that are home to diverse species of plants and animals. Portions of the property are nesting sites for threatened loggerhead sea turtles and threatened Wilson’s Plovers. Some of the grounds are also migratory stopover areas and winter roosting sites for threatened and endangered Piping Plovers.
